Foundations
Every chance I get, I tell people of the foundation of faith, family, and love on which my parents built their lives. That, in turn, set such a wonderful example for their children and from there, their grandchildren. I went to stay with them for a couple of weeks a while back as my dad… Continue reading Foundations
The Company We Keep
Even though it's not Wednesday, I had to sneak in an extra post. This morning as I was running around Lake Estes in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado, my thoughts circled around who I am today, who I was, and who I want to be. Thank God--literally--that I'm not who I was, that I'm finally comfortable… Continue reading The Company We Keep
Prayer in Numbers
It started, as my ideas usually do, on a morning run. Typically I like to listen to music or audio books when I'm running, but there are times I enjoy simply basking in the sounds of nature or beautiful silence. And there are times I go on a prayer run. This was one of those mornings.… Continue reading Prayer in Numbers
Running is Cheaper Than Therapy
I've posted in the past that running is my therapy. And a whole lot cheaper! Running in the early morning is when my mind churns out ideas for my novels or short stories, or brings to light an answer to something I've been praying for. However, that being said, this typically only happens when I'm running outside in nature,… Continue reading Running is Cheaper Than Therapy
Through Eyes of Surrender
I frequently pray that God use me as a vessel to draw others to Him, that He fill me with the fruits of His Spirit, that others may be drawn to Him through His light within me. While running one morning this past week, counting my blessings and adoring the breathtaking pink and white clouds as the sun… Continue reading Through Eyes of Surrender
A Glorious Sunday Drive
On my bike. As strange as this may sound, there's nothing more relaxing to me than a long bike ride on a beautiful Sunday morning. Of course by the time the 30-mile ride is done, there's nothing more relaxing than being back home, showered, with a bowl of popcorn and an A&W 10. 🙂 The… Continue reading A Glorious Sunday Drive
Prioritizing Priorities
I've come to realize--again--that I'm not super-human and have conceded to the fact that I need to prioritize my life a bit. I'm confidant I'm not alone in that I tend to keep taking on more and more, often without realizing it, until life becomes a little bit of everything done somewhat well and nothing done well. There's… Continue reading Prioritizing Priorities
The Rainbow After the Rain
This morning as I was doing my "prayer and meditation time," finally feeling better after having a flu bug that knocked me down harder than I can ever remember, I thought about something my sweet grandma said I told her numerous times years ago. "Grandma, I like getting tummy aches 'cause it feels so good when… Continue reading The Rainbow After the Rain
Praying for Strangers
A while back I read the book Praying for Strangers: An Adventure of the Human Spirit by River Jordan, and at the time I had no idea how that book would impact my life. The book is about the 2009 New Year's Resolution of an introverted woman whose sons were about to go off to war. Her quest… Continue reading Praying for Strangers
